Footy legends Khoa do Anh do, angus Sampson, Claudia Karvan, steven Rooke, Paul nakad, An unemployed sport fan enters an amateur rugby league tournament where losing just isn't an option if he's to keep his family together. Set in Sydney western suburbs, footy legends tell the story of luc vu, a young man with an obsession about football. This is compared to rember the titan because it relates to it because in the footy legend while at haft time when the team is in the shed someone on the team told them a good speech to keep them in the game in rember the titan the couch Boone say you look like a bunch of fifth grade sissies after a cat fight! You got anger, that good your goanna to need it you got aggression that even better your goanna needs it too. But any little two-year-old child can throw a fit! Football is about controlling that anger, harnessing that aggression into a team effort to achieve perfection. The target is people who like football movies and a massive fan of the Nrl and if they play football. The actors portrayed the character well because the character did a good job. The film did well with camera angles and lighting and the music and bulling tension It is that that bad I would rate this movie 5 star.

Opening on depressing images of Sydney's South West, Footy Legends leads the audience on a journey of self discovery, showing mateship and the true bond of a family, with the tale of an underdog sports team set up against all odds to become Footy Legends. Australian slang and euphemisms make footy legends identifiable as a true blue Australian hit, along the lines of Crocodile Dundee and The Castle. Aussie artists lend their music to the film which adds an extra dimension to the complexities of the story, leading it more into a Drama rather than a Comedy for which it may have been seen as. The Musicians include; Rose Tattoo, Shannon Noll, Hoodoo Gurus, Daryl Braithwaite & Hunters and Collectors. Multiculturalism is evident in the Yagoona team with Players coming from Vietnam, Lebanon, and the Pacific Islands along with White and Indigenous Australians; this allows Australians of all nationalities to enjoy this film. The only drawback is that footy stands for different codes in Australia, Footy is AFL in Victoria, SA and WA but in NSW footy means NRL, the title leaves a little confusion, but this allows the audience to substitute their own sport or hobby for footy.

Footy Legends is a curious film in that it is the first movie about rugby league to make a genuine impact. It is funny, it is moving and it features plenty of rugby league action, plus a wealth of league legends, including Matty Johns, Mario Fenech, Brett Kenny, Cliff Lyons, Gary Larson, Rod Wishart, Brad Clyde and others. The star of the movie is Anh Do, who is also involved in the writing and production. His performance is exceptional, demonstrating an impressive array of emotions through facial expressions and body language. Here is a young man who can make a big impact on the Australian movie scene, particularly if he can continue to contribute to quality scripts. The other impressive qualities of the movie are tight editing and a wonderful music score. Many Aussie movies lose impact by overplaying scenes and thus losing momentum. Footy Legends avoids this trap by keeping each scene to a length that says what needs to be said, then moves on. This is good editing and a feature of Khoa Do's directorial debut in a fictional feature film. The music score ideally supports the settings and suits the pace and intentions of the movie. Quality Australian actors Claudia Karvan and Peter Phelps add depth to the movie, but it is Anh Do's performance which stands out. Hopefully this will be the start of a long career for this talented performer. Whether the movie has enough diversity to appeal to overseas markets remains to be seen, but it has the right blend of comedy, pathos and "feel-good" to suggest that it will capture the attention and interest of Australian audiences. I hope so, because it deserves a wide audience.

I had never heard of this one, despite being a big Anh Do fan. Decided to give it a go when it popped up on Netflix, and was pleasantly surprised! The story line is very much your typical underdog story. Reminiscent of movies like Cool Runnings or Mighty Ducks. Group of people from the rough side of town, struggling, who band together. But mixed in with it is some very Australian humour! Found ourselves laughing throughout. Also has an excellent soundtrack, with many good Aussie classics featuring. You don't need to be a rugby fan to enjoy this one! Would highly recommend giving it a watch!

This movie has the beginning elements of a good story, but not much more. Like many Australian movies, it ambles along and has a distinct lack of dramatic peaks and troughs. Khoa Do has come up with a strong premise for his story about a group of working class guys going into battle against their own circumstances, but the script really needed much more rigorous development before being put to the screen. There are quite a few potentially interesting characters here, and it would have been good to see more of their stories. Some of the plot lines involving Luc and his sister do not ring true. I find it hard to believe that a government social worker would threaten to put the girl into foster placement because Luc can't pay her school fees. Surely it would be easier just to transfer her to a public school. When she is in hospital with severe asthma, she is on medication that makes her drowsy. This simply wouldn't happen, because it would worsen her respiratory failure. OK - call me picky, but if Khoa is trying to create a realistic drama as opposed to a leap-of-faith comedy like the grossly underrated Little Man, attention to detail can go a long way. One of the standout performances for me was from Matthew Johns. Although he was playing himself as a sports commentator, he appeared much more comfortable working with scripted lines than some of the other special guest footy stars. He's already proved himself as a competent comedic character actor on The Footy Show, so I'd love to see him in some more serious roles.

I started watching this film expecting a good old Aussies knockabout working class blokes versus the rich entitled snobs story, but was badly disappointed. The acting was poor, especially An Doh, the editing second rate and poor direction. It beggars belief that this lot of unfit dole bludgers could win a anything, let alone a rugby game. They couldn't even beat a bunch of garbos! The plot shows that after playing one game and drawing that game, they are in to the final, without playing any other teams. Glad I didn't pay to see this.

A typical Hollywoodesque formula comedy/drama sports feel-good schmaltz - but this time from the usually more offbeat Aussies. Complete with an awful, overly sentimental soundtrack next to which even Coldplay seem lively and heavy. The female part of the cast is interesting/good, but the male part, which dominates due to the subject matter, is quite apathetic - which is weird considering that they all play Aussie-rules rugby; one would think they'd have more life in them than to constantly mope around, looking depressed. The movie uses all the clichés and plot-devices that there are in order to hopefully press all the "right" sob-buttons, which makes me wonder for whom this movie was made. Women? Well, I certainly don't see guys getting excited about this story, except if they're similarly goofy misfits like most of the rugby-playing protagonists here. We've got a girl with asthma, a semi-retarded gentle giant, an old man in a nursing home, a player's girlfriend in jail, unemployed bums and a drug-addict seeking a new chance in life, and then the obligatory big-match finale. You get the picture. Instead of watching this film, google "vjetropev 15 rule changes".

I just want to say that i really enjoyed Footy Legends and it was real step up from The Finished People which looked and had the feel of a doco. When i first heard of it i didn't want to see it as i am not a fan of football but i changed my mind when i saw a preview which looked funny so i changed my mind. the casting is terrific from the fantastic, talented Claudia Karvan to comedians Anh Do, Angus Sampson, Paul Nakad to rising star Emma Lung to newcomer Lisa Saggers. The story and script was done really well, not the totally heartbreaking sad story i was expecting but heart warmer with Australian humor to match The Castle. Well done.
